Item: Sleigh Bells
Make: Unknown
Age: Early-Mid 20th Century
Construction: Leather, Bronze, Metal
Dimensions: 105" Long (8'9"), 1" Wide Strap, 1 1/8" Diameter Bells
Condition: Very good vintage condition. Leather has been conditioned. Bells have been gently cleaned but still have varied patina. Metal buckle still functional. One bell is missing. Please see photos.

Crotal bells are bells or rattles that produce sound from a pellet inside an enclosed object, rather than a clapper. Better known as horse bells, jingle bells, sleigh bells or rumblers, they have been in use for centuries. Their most well-known use is for horse-drawn vehicles to warn others of their presence.
